Bang for the buck or bang your head against the wall while trying to figure out which one of these crappy connections is the culprit. Sounds like may be time to refresh some of this stuff as opposed to curing it with deoxit. Don’t need to spend a ton. Just get good cables with solid connectors.
Fuzzy playback
I have noticed that my system sounds fuzzy or scratchy. I am pretty sure the ethernet connections are the fault.
I have used DeOxIt2 for years. It has been a good fix for this problem. For some reason, I did not do that when I added filters.
I have seen some folks are using other contact enhancers. I don't want to spend $500 a bottle. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey @daledeee1 Did you figure out a resolution to your “Fuzzy Playback”? DeOxit? Stabilant 22? LinkUp Cat8 cable? Something else? Hoping you figured it out and might be able to help the rest of us!

Hello @rockrider. As usual it was those RCA connections at the crossover. A new crossover is $750. I chose to fix this Rean RCA base, gold plated. $10 for a set of 6. While I have it out I am replacing the volume potentiometers. I wanted stepped attenuator instead of the old one. Would not fit. So I am installing SMPT volume controls, $20 each. $100 labor. Or I buy a new case, then I might as well buy the new crossover. We will see how this sounds. |
